It’s pretty odd that some people experience lots of crashes while others have none whatsoever, as this most often rules out overall buggy programming. Maybe it’s caused by an unrelated piece of software or device driver. Brave Soul repeatedly crashing with SoundBlaster Live standard midi drivers comes to mind. Maybe there’s one or a couple of unrelated drivers or programs that is causing this to V-Mate games too?
Maybe specific brands of soundcards, mouse hardware (like Logitech), display devices (ATI/Nvidia/onboard/other), or something else entirely. Maybe setting the process priority for the V-Mate games lower in the Windows Task Manager can reduce crashes.
I’ve played a lot of games in my time, and looking at patch fix logs for some of the big titles, I’m often surprised at what miniscule things are able to cause crashes and instabilities. If G-Collections had the manpower to do it, they should probably try to get accurate system info from the people experiencing frequent crashes and see if there are similarities in the hardware and/or device drivers for them.
